Abstract

A 36-year-old woman was referred to the department of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital Vrije Universiteit, because of complaints of hoarseness. A submucosal swelling of the right ventricular fold was found that was subsequently biopsied. Histopathological examination showed a low-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). Treatment consisted of local radiotherapy (to 2800 cGy). During the 2-year follow-up to date there has been no evidence of recurrent disease. To our knowledge, only four cases of MALT lymphomas in the larynx have been reported. The clinical behavior of MALT lymphoma is clearly quite distinct and requires proper recognition to prevent inadvertent misdiagnosis or overtreatment.
